SteveP reminds me of the Man in Black, who believes in a cause because it is a humane and just cause --just as in justice.

I am sure Cash wrote what sells, but he also wrote from conviction --these words are as true then, as they are now, in Iraq and Afghanistan, for the lost and unjust US cause there.

"I wear the black in mournin' for the lives that could have been,

Each week we lose a hundred fine young men.

And, I wear it for the thousands who have died,

Believin' that the Lord was on their side,

I wear it for another hundred thousand who have died,

Believin' that we all were on their side."

Now, back to our regularly scheduled kroozer programming in Bocas del Toro.
